Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

    I am unsure if I can stencil stormdrains in our community but I'll find out!

    I'd like to take action on the stormwater drain challenge, but a little differently than how the site wants us to take action

      I think an educational campaign to businesses that are commonly found dumping into the stormdrain...
